My first trip to the beach is only SEVEN days away! I’ll be heading out to the Hamptons to celebrate my friend’s bachelorette and cannot wait. To feel my best when out there, I’ve decided to do a mini detox the week leading into the trip. I came up with the idea when I saw that Well+Good was offering 25% off Blueprint Cleanses. I am a huge fan of Blueprint but wasn’t looking for a full-on cleanse, so instead I purchased two days worth of juices and will be putting together a 4-day mini detox. I’ve never done this before and I’m not a nutritionist, so we shall see what happens! If you’d like to follow along, below is my plan:
My juices arrive Sunday evening. I’ll take a trip to Trader Joe’s on Sunday to stock my kitchen for the days ahead.
Below is my basic plan of how I’ll spread the 12 juices over four days and what my meals will look like. I’m going to fill my office with healthy snack options for when hunger strikes (and I’m sure it will). This detox isn’t about deprivation. I’m planning to work out a bunch and want to be properly fueled. More or less, this plan is just a bunch of healthy eating with some juices thrown in. As you’ll see below, I’m not giving up coffee because I’ve done it before and I become a miserable human being, so for your sake and my own, it’s sticking around (plus I don’t think it’s bad for you). I’ll keep you posted on how this goes!
